Tips
While making smoothies is easy, the clean-up can sometimes be a bit of a hassle as the vegetable and fruit purée tends to stick to the blender if it is allowed to dry. As such, make sure to rinse the blender with warm water immediately after pouring the green avocado smoothie into glasses. This will make it much easier to clean even if you do not have time to do it right away. You can also put some lukewarm water in the blender and blend for 10 seconds; then the blender will be almost entirely clean afterwards.

Sweet pineapple flavour and skyr for texture
Easy green smoothie recipes sometimes get a bad reputation, but they are full of flavour and depth if made correctly. So, our green smoothie with spinach, broccoli, and avocado is one of the best green smoothies you will get. The addition of tropical pineapple and vanilla skyr sweetens any bitterness from the greens and gives the smoothie a well-balanced flavour profile with mild, sweet, and fresh flavours.
The lemon juice and skyr add a bit of acidity to brighten the earthy flavours. Combining skyr with water as your liquid base also makes this green smoothie creamier and gives it a more rounded mouthfeel.
Experiment with the ingredients
It is quite easy to mix up your green smoothie ingredients while keeping its signature hue intact. You might like to experiment with vegetables like kale, celery, or cucumber. If the vibrant green colouring is not necessarily a selling point for you, an earthy beet green smoothie also tastes great.
If you are wondering what to put in a green smoothie to make it fresh and zingy, experiment with adding apples and ginger. Tart apples like Granny Smith will be especially delicious when paired with creamy avocado and sweet pineapple.
Adding a couple of fresh mint leaves into the smoothie mix will give your homemade smoothie a fresh, herbaceous taste and a cooling feeling on your palate that is quite refreshing.
